Cats, philodendrons, typewriters, clocks, queers, spiritual folk, healthcare, (progressive) Lutherans, bungalows . . . the list goes on. Healthcare, housing, and education should not be expenses that people in the USA are forced to stress about.
The cats were shredding my couch so I got one of those slipcovers made in [wherever] and I did not want beige and wasn't sure about the blues or greens so I opted for "rust" and oh man, my friends, it is like 1970's orange. *laugh* Oh dear. Also the fabric is like Ford Taurus upholstery.

The city sent me a note that my water service line is made of lead. They will replace it in the next 7ish years.
I feel so Roman Empire!

The floor drain in the basement needed roto-rooter. Afterward, I decided to do a load of laundry as a test and, y'all, the wash water went right down the drain, It was fabulous. It drained like a drain ought to drain. 'Twas a thing of beauty.
The things that bring grownups joy, I tell ya. . .

when I was a kid, I was given the impression that making a poached egg was DIFFICULT.
And now that I'm grown up I've learned, like, it really is not all THAT difficult. Yay!

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging.
They didn’t “have sex with underage girls”.
They raped them.
Sex implies consent.
The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

It's been a chilly, damp day outside and I have gotten a few things done, including a bit of a nap. (I laid down, and two cats immediately decided I was cat furniture, so I was stuck there for a little bit.) This is Twin Cities Leather Weekend and I really don't own leather but will cheer.

Yesterday at work a resident had a big old meltdown alllll over me. I don't think that sparked joy for either of us. But then I got to talk with one of my late-80yr-old lesbians, and I felt so much better about life. Thank goodness for the people we can be real with, you know?

Francine Ficus had dropped half her leaves (truly, the floor was carpeted with yellow leaves), so I gave her a bunch of water— the soil was bone dry. I know ficus don’t love overwatering, but they also are not desert cacti— ya gotta water ‘em *sometimes*.

If SNAP benefits vanished tomorrow, feeding 42 million Americans for a month would cost about $7.8 billion.That’s less than 1% of the combined net worth of the three richest men in the U.S. A reminder of how obscene inequality has become and how easily hunger could be solved if we chose to.
